This is a new one ...
Another former Yahoo employee has filed a lawsuit claiming that management running the company's "Media Org" was biased against men.
The complaint (PDF) filed by Scott Ard says that Yahoo's "stack ranking" system was "without oversight or accountability" and was "more arbitrary and discriminatory" than stack ranking used by other companies.
The lawsuit claims that Yahoo's Media Org employees were ranked from 0.0 to 5.0 before being subject to a "calibration" process by higher-level management. Ard claims employees weren't told their numeric ranking but were only informed of their "Bucket" ranking, labeled "Greatly Exceeds, "Exceeds," "Achieves," "Occasionally Misses," or "Misses."
[...] The lawsuit's allegations closely mirror those of Gregory Anderson, another male ex-Media Org worker who sued Yahoo in February. Anderson and Ard have the same lawyer, Palo Alto-based Jon Parsons. Discovery is ongoing in the Anderson case, which is currently scheduled for a trial in May.

This is a much harder problem than that. If you make any organization that wants to deal with the needs of people who share demographics with typical western oppressors. No matter how reasonable, soft spoken and compromising. It will attract all sorts of bigots and scared alienated people, depending on the culture of your organization they may hide their nature or tone down their rhetoric but they'll be there fucking up whatever it is you're trying to do and eventually their actions or influence will give someone all they need to paint you as the new SS.
Anonymous is particularly bad since the current crop of online SJWs are composed of the most dedicated sociopathic core of former Anonymous cyberbullies. They were attracted to trolling for the following you could acquire, the marching orders you could give random kids on the internet and the pain you could inflict on other people.
Chanology taught them that they had a greater sphere of influence and power as activists and then Occupy wall street is where they learned traditional political tricks and professional victimhood. Both from the political fringe they encountered and the grifty homeless populations that moved into the camps.
Consider the composition of the online SJW community and 4chan in 2008. Awfully similar.
That's basically what they are, not all of them became SJWs per-se but they're all basically cyberbullies. 4chan concentrated the psychos and then they got together and fell out into their own little groups. Some went to anonops, some went to tumblr but wherever they went they remained ingenuine cyberbullies who like power and inflicting pain on others.
Their true colors are starting to show, you'll never eliminate political correctness and I think that it's not even all bad. But the days of the meddling SJW tech bully is coming to an end and maybe it did some good even if they themselves couldn't actually care less about any woman's career other than their own. I do now hear people thinking about how to encourage young women to get into coding and tech when they're young even as demands that companies staff themselves more from the barely existent pool of women tech workers begin to die off.
